Leg Roller

I've got the PR5000 roller that uses a pin on the end to hold it in place. There's a slight wobble but as soon as you put weight/pressure on the roller its stabilized. I use these for all sorts of things - split squat, hyperextensions, etc. I do with they were a little longer. Otherwise these were a great buy when they were sub $50.

I have the 4000 that centers the pad in your rack. I have a Rogue monster lite rack and this fits snugly on the upright. I have to give it a little push to get it in place, but there’s no play in it once it’s attached. I like that it’s centered so I can do barbell or SSB Bulgarian split squats in the rack. I also use it for copenhagens, couch stretch, and preacher-ish curls. It’s well built and I consider it a must-have in my gym since I use it so often.

I have the early version as well. It's fine for what I use it for, at the used price I paid for it. They should have went with a full or close to full length pad. The vinyl is the saving grace that elevates the early version above budget options.

I own the 5000 series version of these leg rollers, so my experience might not fully reflect the 4000 series version. The build quality is honestly the saving grace of this product. The materials feel nice, the foam is dense, the vinyl is grippy, and overall it looks well made. Unfortunately, the performance suffers because of the pin REP uses as the locking mechanism. It just doesn’t work very well and constantly comes undone. That wouldn’t be as big of an issue if the roller itself didn’t also have so much slop once attached to the rack. Between the looseness and the pin backing out, the rollers don’t always feel particularly secure during use. It does look like REP Fitness now offers a screw-and-nut version, which honestly seems like it would solve most of these problems. With that said, I probably wouldn’t buy these new, maybe used if you find a great Facebook Marketplace deal or someone practically gives them to you. There are better alternatives out there, and I’d probably go with one of those instead.

Pretty good piece for the PR-4000, storing it kind of sucks but at least your don’t need to get two of them since the one goes across the middle of your rack. I don’t do split squats, so the only value it has is for lat pulldowns. And it doesn’t job for that.

Just want to be clear this is for version 1.0 - As you can see in my picture I have these set up to hold my legs in place for lat pulldowns. They what they're supposed to and once you get locked in they don't move around too much. I've used them for single leg/bulgarian split squats and they do move around quite a bit. I don't love these, and would love to upgrade to their new version, or possibly the stray dog version of these but it's annoying to pay so much for something like this.

This is for the original weight roller offered by REP. Performance wise the rollers work well. I like the attachment option on the new 2.0 version, but at just under $200 it’s a big ask.

I have the 5000 version. These are fine, the locking mechanism is annoying but they fit well. I would like to try the 2.0's to see the improvement, but these leave me wanting. I really wish they would be a full roller (like Rep just introduced with the altitude)--going across the whole rack. I really wanted them for hip thrusts, but I've since learned (thank you gray matter lifting!) that the blackwind decline headrest is a much much better pad for that. I use them for lat pull-downs and split squats. For the latter I want them to wider, I have to be a bit more careful than I'd like about foot positioning. I don't think they're quite at the quality of the other rep products, but they do the job (I really hope Rep gets a full width pad!).

Decent roller pad, pretty light and easy to move. Couldn’t always find the best rack height in my PR-4000 to get set perfectly for some movements but that may also be because I only had one bench at the time and no other way to adjust height. Pad could have been a little better but I did purchase mine about 5-6 years ago so maybe they’ve improved that. Would definitely get this for a Rep Rack with Ares for the center-top cable attachments for pull downs.

I added a layer of UHMW on the shaft for a tighter fit on my flip down safeties. After that, this thing is great. Huge upgrade over using a bench.
